In  thin  bright  clime  1  liave  a  friend, 
A  chieftain,  very  wise  and  old; 
Oft'  together,  we  hourn  spend 
In  ancient  lore— This  tale  he  told 
About  his  Sun-God's  wondrous  power; 
The  source  of  heat,  and  light,  and  force, 
And  life,  and  time,  for  every  hour 
Is  counted  by  the  Sun's  bright  course. 


INTKODUCTION. 


He  told  me  how  the  worhl  began, 
Tlirown  from  the  Sun's  t£reat  tuolten  sea. 
And  war*  jjivpared  for  l>irth  of  man, 
And  of  its  God  the  Zaptor-Zee. 
And  how  earth's  life  when  it  is  done. 
Shall  melt  within  the  Sun's  great  sea, 
■    AH  dross  l)urnetl  out,  for  in  the  Sun 

Is  heat,  and  light,  and  purity. 

And  this  chief  truth  he  hade  me  know, 

"That  heat  alone  gives  light  and  force; 
.      That  naught  exists  without  its  glow. 

For  'tis  of  life,  the  only  source. 

That  heat  alone  makes  light  and  power. 

And  on  these  three  all  life  depends.

And  angry  lights  blazed  in  the  north."

And  forth  the  heavy  burden  cast.
